“The Montee Law Firm was a huge help in settling my case. After my accident, I was confused and intimidated by the claims adjusters. I spent months trying to settle on my own and felt increasingly frustrated and anxious. Once I reached out for help, the Montee Law Firm sprang to action and I never had to speak to the adjusters or attempt to negotiate on my own behalf again. The Firm took care of everything, provided a huge relief during a stressful time, and they negotiated a fair settlement on my behalf.”

Answers to Common Personal Injury Questions
We provide answers to frequently asked questions regarding personal injury cases. Our goal is to help you understand the legal process and guide you through the steps involved in seeking justice and compensation.
When you’ve been hurt due to someone else’s negligence, you may be wondering if you have a personal injury claim. The answer isn’t always clear, but our St. Joseph personal injury lawyers can help determine whether you have a case. First, it’s important to understand what a personal injury claim entails.
A personal injury claim is a civil lawsuit filed by an injured party against the person or entity whose carelessness or negligence caused the trauma. The purpose of filing a personal injury claim is to seek monetary compensation for the injuries suffered. This compensation should make the injured person “whole again” by returning them, as much as possible, to the physical and emotional state they were in before the accident or injury.
If you’ve been injured in an accident, you may be wondering whether you should file a personal injury claim. The answer depends on several factors, including the severity of your injuries, the amount of damages (medical bills, lost wages, etc.) you have incurred and who was at fault for the accident.
To learn more about whether you have grounds for a personal injury claim and what the next steps are if you do, please contact our office at (816) 364-1650 to schedule a free consultation with a member of our legal team.
At the Montee Law Firm, we understand how confusing and overwhelming it can be trying to figure out whether you have a personal injury claim after being involved in an accident that wasn’t your fault. Our experienced St. Joseph personal injury attorneys can help you understand your legal rights and options and guide you through every step of the claim-filing process so that you can focus on your recovery. Contact us today to schedule a free consultation – we don’t get paid unless and until we win compensation for you.
After a car accident, most people experience some degree of shock. However, there are certain steps that should be taken to help ensure a strong case. If possible, do the following:
Call the police
Take photos of the accident scene, your car, and your injuries
Get insurance information from the other driver
See a doctor, even if you believe you injuries are minor
As a general rule, if your injury required medical attention, it is worthwhile to speak to a lawyer. Personal injury law is complex and constantly evolving. An experienced law firm, like the Montee Law Firm, will help you protect your interests and maximize your financial return.
If you’ve been injured due to someone else’s negligence, you may be wondering if you need to hire a personal injury attorney. The answer is not always cut and dry, but here are a few factors to consider that can help you make the decision.
The Severity of Your Injuries
One of the first things you’ll want to consider is the severity of your injuries. You may not need to hire an attorney if you’ve only sustained minor injuries that will heal with time and some medical treatment. However, you should consider that even minor injuries can develop and become significant with time. If your injuries are more serious, or if you expect them to have long-term effects, it’s worth at least discussing your case with an attorney to see if hiring one makes sense since the significance of the accident may be murky at the beginning.
The Cost of Medical Treatment
Another thing to think about is the cost of your medical treatment. If you don’t have health insurance or if your injuries are not covered, the cost of medical treatment can quickly become unmanageable. In this case, it may be worth hiring an attorney to help you recover the cost of your medical treatment from the liable party.
Your Ability to Work
If your injuries have prevented you from being able to work, or if you expect them to do so in the future, this is another factor to take into consideration when deciding whether or not to hire an attorney. An experienced personal injury attorney can help you recover lost wages as well as any future lost earnings if your injuries might have a long-term impact on your ability to work.
There is no one-size-fits-all answer when it comes to deciding whether or not to hire a personal injury attorney. However, if you’ve been injured due to someone else’s negligence, it’s always worth at least discussing your case with an attorney to see if hiring one makes sense for you. Remember, even small cases can change into big ones overnight, and insurance companies may feel an unrepresented individual is easy prey. Besides, injuries are not always symptomatic at first, so having representation might be a good idea.
Being injured in an accident is always a challenging experience. Not only do you have to deal with the pain and suffering caused by your injuries, but you also have to contend with the financial costs of medical treatment and a loss of income. Sometimes, the person who caused your accident or insurance company may try to lowball you with a settlement offer that doesn’t even come close to covering your costs. This is done quickly and banks on the injured person’s worry about financial loss. That’s when you need to hire a personal injury attorney.
Why You Shouldn’t Worry About the Cost of a Personal Injury Attorney
If you’re worried about being able to afford a personal injury attorney, a no-win, no-fee agreement is a great option. Since you won’t have to pay anything upfront, you can get the representation you need without worrying about how you’ll cover the cost of an attorney. You do not owe your attorney anything if the case does not win in court or at the negotiation table.
The best way to determine if you have a valid case is to contact the lawyers at the Montee Law Firm. Personal injury claims are often complicated and insurance companies employ an army of adjusters and lawyers to protect their interests from prospective plaintiffs.
Every case is different and may be influenced by factors including the nature and extent of your injuries along with your medical expenses, lost wages, and pain and suffering. Assessing your total losses and damages can be a complicated task. The lawyers at the Montee Law Firm have helped thousands of accident victims and are experts in valuing and pursuing injury claims.
